The Weather Girls came out to play last night, and the attractive duo had a successful run through the end of the I13 Midnighter arc, and also a couple of the Faultline arc mishes, with all the chatty EB’s (which went down surprisingly easily)

Not without it’s moments of comedy, as at the end of the last midnighter mish, when there are about 3 simultaneous Boss ambushes, HT faceplanted, and WL ended up speeding round and round the cargo hold with all the Warriors following her until she could drop spare insp on HT

Hurricane Tess 25
Winters Light 25

I’ve been incommunicado for a bit, I had an offsite course at the end of last week.

Anyway, the Shield Maidens romped through the end of Posi, and swiftly morphed into another trio who, for want of a better name, we shall call the Weather Girls. And it was indeed raining men as the utter awesomeness of Ice Patch stacked with Freezing Rain turned every? mish into a bit of a turkey shoot.

The assembled cast of players…

Maiden Shibuya 16 Shield/Energy tank
Maiden Afrique 16 Shield/Battle Axe tank
Maiden US 16 Shield/Strength?? tank

Misinformation 18 (woot) Elec/Elec Blaster
Hurricane Tess 24 Storm/Elec Defender
Winters Light 24 Ice/Storm Controller

The Shield Maidens came out to party last night and they, like, totally beat up on everything and they almost totally finished the Posi task force.

Maiden US was like, bashing things, and like Maiden Shibuya was like bashing things too, and like Maiden Afrique was like hitting things too. Even those freaky floating dudes.

They only ended up face down in the last club of the night, it was all that vom from those freaky dead dudes eeyoouu !

Aaaanyway, we’ll finish up next week, yeah ?

Laters.

As advertised last week, the shield maidens made an appearance this week, and after clearing out a few old missons, the 3 maids started a run at the Posi TF, started off well against the Vaz, and the second mish Clockwork came and went fairly speedily.

Then last mish of the night, CoT was much nastier, with a couple of almost team wipes.

Mind you the one major advantage of an all tank team is that as long as one of your comrades is still going, so much taunt is being generated that you can pop a wakie right in the middle and no one notices.

The roster
Maiden US 16
Maiden Afrique 16
Maiden Shibuya 16

Adjourned till new week, unless someone else turns up.

More CoH news, they’ve announced more details on the new Mission Architect Feature

On the official website

On the Official Boards

and on Massively

On the Yay-side

• full XP for all missions (they were thinking about only have partial XP)
• Full Character costumes (I wonder, can you save your characters constume to disk as a template and import it into the MA creator ?)

On the Boo-side

• Ticket drops – rather than random enhnacement drops you get tickets that you can cash in at a “Ticket Vendor”

More complexity, now we have Vangard Merits, Merits and Wentworths to which we now add this ticketting system. They did a good job collapsing down the complex salvage system, only to re-invent more complexity with the proliferation of Merits/Tickets.

I predict a merger by I16 at the lastest.

As to MA itself, I might play with it, as I think I’ve seen pointed out somewhere else, we are going to see quite a lot of “XXX-MyToon-XXX” origin missions.

These would be fun within a SG, but not sure what the wider audience would be.

Still, as I’ve never really done Base Architect, this might be a fun way to “pay back” into the wider community.

Another run out by the A Team, this time with the welcome addition of Ice Mash (Ice/Mace Tank), to the usual suspects (Handshake, Ramblin Syd and Misadventure)

The main bad guys were Malta, with the odd Nemesis (for it was he) and Carnie’s thrown in.

Not bad, back in the groove again, laying waste to all and sundry fairly efficiently, with not too many face plants.

On the sole front, I’ve got back into playing Psy Girl again. She’s finally up to level 33 now, and I treated her to a new costume slot and costume. Still in the green and black theme, but this time with an aura. Now she’s as green and glowy as the mobs she dowses with Rad.

Another back to the future run out for the A team last night, this time a little badge-whoring was in order.

Multiple runs at the Valentines content was in order, with the team consisting alternately of…

Power Jenny
MisAdventure
Ramblin Syd
Handshake
Hearts Desire

With the required red being provided by Sloe Djinn (a low level Brute)

The Ganneymeade and Snap Tooth mishes were farmed a bit for badges and costume items. Suffice to say, most of the team ended up more Beautiful or Handsome
